What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic

The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic is widely praised for its exceptional value, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its Japanese construction quality and impressive fit and finish for the price. Enthusiasts appreciate its versatile design and fun dial colors, while reviewers note its retro feel and emulation of vintage dress watches. The watch is powered by Citizen's caliber 8322 movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. Criticisms include a cyclops date magnifier that some find undesirable, a bracelet that can be noisy and lacks significant tapering, and a 40mm case that wears large due to its thickness and broad lugs. One owner also found the 4 o'clock crown fiddly for winding. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic highly for its incredible bargain price and well-executed design.

From video reviewers

The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic is praised for its attractive dial colors and Genta-inspired design. Reviewers note issues with the bracelet clasp.

Orient Bambino Version 6

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 6 for its excellent value and vintage-inspired design, with reviewers highlighting its in-house F6222 automatic movement that offers hand-winding and hacking seconds. The dial is frequently lauded as amazing, and the overall finishing, including brushed case flanks and a signed crown, contributes to its appeal as a budget dress watch. Accuracy is noted as excellent for an automatic movement, with owners reporting no issues maintaining time. However, some owners find the watch large, and the date window at 3 o'clock is criticized for detracting from the dress watch aesthetic, while opinions are divided on the mesh bracelet and the leather strap is considered mediocre. Overall, owners rate the Orient Bambino Version 6 highly for its impressive value and attractive vintage-style design, especially considering its accessible price point.
